I didn't know what to expect but we use it for movies and to watch Netflix. Recently my daughter showed me how to connect to YouTube as well. This was a very good investment.
I use this mainly for playing dvds, blu ray, and netflix streaming. Many other options, but that's all I've used. I have had the wi-fi disconnect several times, but it reconnects with a press of the button and don't know if that's my wi fi or the box issue. I am happy with it overall and was able to set it up on my own. (and I am not that tech savvy!)
